Tagging mt EtOn.

Tagging is not easy work at Eton.
Fags not only have to wait on their
fag masters at almost all hours, to
bring them water and to look out for
their rooms, but they even have to cook
for them. All the boys of q house take
their dinner together, but excepting in
two or three houses where a new rule
has been made, every one has his
breakfast and tea in his own room.
And for these meals the poor fags are
cooks and walters. There is even a
kitchen provided for their special use,
where they boil water, brew tea, and
toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens.
Fancy o youngster just out of the home
nursery, you might say, being set to
making toast, when he knows as little
about it as he does about Latin verses !
And yet, if it is not all right, his fastd-
ious master will take II IN to task with
all the Indignation of disappointed
hunger, and then send him off to do his
work over again. But he & ows hard
ened by degrees to this work, just as
he does to verse-making, and in time
can joke and laugh as he cooks. And
il. while he talks, he forgets his toast
and lets it burn, what matter? With
o little experience he learns to scrape
off the black with a knife. .-ElisaDeth
Robins Pen1aeH, IN 81. Nicholas.

Discomfort.
BY CELIA THAxrER.

There is no day so dark
But through the murk some ray OF hope may
Some blessed touch from heaven that we might
feel
II we but chose to mark.
Who shut the portals fast,
And turn the key and let the sunshine I'm,
Yet to the worst despair that comes through sin
Gods light shall reach ut last.
We slight our daily Joy,
Make much OF your voXations, thcklv set
Our paths with thorns of discomfort, and fret
At our fine Colds alloy,
Till bounteous Heaven might frown
At such ingratltude, and, turning lay
On our ilnpatience burdens that would weigh
Our aching shoulders down.
We shed too many tears
And sigh too sore and yield up to woe.
AS IL God had not planned the way we 60,
And counted out our years.
Can we not be content
And lift our foreheads from the ignoble dust
OF these complaining lives, and wait with trust,
Fulfilling Heavens intent?
MUST we nave wealth. ana power,
Fame, beauty, all things ordered to our mind?
Nay, all these things lay happiness behindl
Accept the sun and shower,
The humble joys that bless,
Appealing to indifferent hearts, and cold,
With delicate touch, striving to reach and hold
Our hidden consciousness.
Aud see how everywhere
Love comforts, strengthens, helps, and saves us
What opportunities of good befall
To make life sweet and fair.

not at all considered, are nevertheless
the source of Natures sweetest music.

The preliminary hearing Of the parties
arrested fnr the murder oi the negro Dave
Anderson, on Tuesday night lust,
was finished before Justice Gutenberg
yesterday afternoon. The trirl has been
an interesting one throughout, and it is
confidently believed by the court aud the
attorneys for the prosecution that tie real
perpetrators of the wanton asslSsinalian
are nov behind prison bars. There have
been too singnhrly interesting develop.
ments in this case. The negro Towns wax

reluctant answers he gave to further in

bloody deed than he would dare tell,
ordered him under arrest. On further
examination the next day. his direct con
neciion with the murlcr WIS deemed 70 bc
fully established and hc was ordered To
Jail.
